My Top 10 Must Have Baby Items!
Finally have a moment to sit down and write my top baby haves. We have been testing out many things since he was born and we have found a few favorites we wish we had from the beginning!
#10 - Burp Clothes
As everyone tells you have lots of burp clothes but I didn't think I would use multiple DAILY! They are great for all the drool, spit up and milk spills we have and are always near use wherever we take him!
#9 - Swing
When I was recovering this helped him and I so much. I could set him in there and he could be swung to sleep and I could take a break for a little since I was a little slow moving and could not rock him to sleep or sit for a long time in one position.
#8 - Diaper Pail
Duh right, I thought we could go without it and would throw them into the trash but this has helped keep them and the smells with it contained. PRO TIP: Buy the off brand diaper pail liners they last much longer!
#7 - Portable Sound Machine
This helps him sleep so well on the go! It provides a similar sound for him to go to sleep just like he was in the womb again while also drowning out the new and loud sounds around him.
#6 - Play Mat
From Day one he has loved looking at every toy and now can reach them and make them move. We also use this mat for tummy time and it can easily be transported if needed.
#5 - Electric Nail Trimmer
Man do his nails grow so fast. He came out with the longest and sharpest nails ever and this trimmer is safe to use and you can't cut them with it. Also he seems to love the noise it makes.
#4 - Dr. Brown Anti-Colic Bottles
Now we did not start with these and I wish we had because colic became a major thing for him and he was so fussy and in pain from it all. These bottles help slow things down and trust me get them now.
#3 - Sleepers with Hand Covers
With his nails growing so fast and the mittens always falling off because he is always on the go these are the way to go. They are also foldable so you do not always have to have them on but when you need them they are there and will save your little one from scratching their face.
#2 - Hatch Light + Sound Machine
So so so so so thankful for this. Not only did it help with nursing / night time feedings, it is now his favorite thing too! It helps him associate when it is time to sleep and provides the perfect amount of white noise and light for him! There are multiple sounds and lights to choose from to customize to your baby and you can control it all right from your phone!
#1 - Weighted Sleep Sack / Sleep Sacks in General
BUY NOW! TRUST ME! This is and will forever now be my top must have baby item that I will suggest to all new and experienced moms. This would have saved us a ton of frustration and tears if we had one from the beginning. He would not sleep unless someone held him which meant we got no sleep but when my mother in law got one for us as someone she worked with recommended it, let me tell you it is a gift from God. It has just enough of a weight to stimulate a human hand touch and comforts them and he sleep 1000x longer when he has it on. We use it for naps and night time sleep. The minute we put it on him it calms and comforts him so he can sleep all by himself.
